Honestly, this is probably Lovecraft's best story. It proves that he could, in fact, write quality cosmic horror when he didn't fall back on bigotry. I love love love the Antarctic setting and the scientific tone of the piece, and how we basically get a tour or tasting menu of the whole weird world. I would pretty much recommend this to anyone unqualified, which I can't say about basically any other of his work. ( ) One of the most complete feeling Lovecraft stories, but still falls into the trap of being a post-event narration which although a common contemporary format to Lovecraft, serves to diffuse most of the tension of the story itself. The cosmic horror is supposed to come from the revelations of powerful forces beyond our comprehension hiding beneath a thin veil of ignorance, ready to reclaim the earth and level mankind's petty accomplishments. Unfortunately for the horror, the eldritch horror at the core of this story is sympathetic, and even the narrator points this out. Reading this as part of [b:The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft|11851522|The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327886768s/11851522.jpg|16807494] Lovecraft's style of horror, at least in this novella, is not to my tastes. I didn't find it scary or that horrifying but rather somewhat dull. There was too much "it was so horrible I can't bring myself to say..." so that the big reveal came more as a yawn than a shriek. I bet that a pretty scary film could be made from this though! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
